Learn how to set up dollar-cost averaging on Osmosis DEX using Leap Wallet and Calc Finance. This step-by-step guide covers both mobile and browser extension methods for automated DCA strategies.

How to DCA-In with Osmosis Wallet using Calc Finance is a question many crypto investors ask when looking to automate their investment strategy. Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is one of the smartest ways to build positions in volatile markets, and with Leap Wallet's multi-chain capabilities, it's easier than ever.
